Re: The many lost dubs of Dragon Ball

Hmm... from what I see, the logo on the screenshot is oval shaped, is somewhat blueish and seems to have a number. The only Cambodian TV station I found with a logo that has those features is CTV9: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1QUe8XZ2qBE/UXLF8JpSlII/AAAAAAAAP5k/MREE15q7Rb0/s1600/khmer-tv9-online.png ...

Re: The many lost dubs of Dragon Ball

I don't really understand what can be classified as being "lost" here. Do you mean something obscure, not available on home video, or physically lost? Italian OG Dragon Ball (Junior TV dub) Is this different from the old dub included in a DVD box release as an extra feature? Kei17 might ha...

Re: A theory regarding the lost Frontier dub

I read a book about the career of William Ross in the Japanese film industry. The book consists of his own filmography, the lists of his company's productions, and the interview with William Ross and his wife. Unfortunately, Dragon Ball is not mentioned in it. They did not document a lot of their w...

Re: Why was the Kikuchi score so inconsistently mixed?

Speaking of the first batch of the Kikuchi score in the OG DB, it was recorded and mixed by Nippon Columbia with a soundtrack release in mind, so it's mixed in stereo and preserved in higher quality. This was confirmed by the producer of DBZ BGM Collection whom I contacted years ago. I guess M7XX re...

Re: Dragon Ball series in China?

I don't know much about the Anime series in mainland China. Original Dragon Ball was dubbed and it seems to have been broadcast on local TV channels, but I think that's it when it comes to TV broadcasts. TV broadcasting in China is probably too strict for the DB series. There have been a lot of home...

Re: Dragon Ball series in China?

In China, the Dragon Ball manga was first published by 春秋出版社 in 1989, under the title of "小猴王" (Little Monkey King). It was discontinued around the fifth volume, and then shortly after that, 学苑出版社 published it again as "霹雳小猴王" (Lighting Little Monkey King), which was also discont...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Here are my current thoughts on this movie. I wrote this in Japanese on Twitter, and I don't want to bother to translate all of it myself, so this was translated with DeepL, a little modified manually. The popularity of "Broly" owed a lot to the massive, overwhelming amount of hand drawing...

Re: Korean English Dub

Pekindaq has a copy. It's still buried in his collection and he hasn't found it. We don't even know whether it's something worth calling a "dub".

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

Well, there is a LaserDisc release of GT from Aiko Animation in Hong Kong. And in Japan, the LaserDisc of DBZ Movie 3 has a karaoke video of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA as a bonus feature, which uses the footage from DBZ episode 1. That's the only thing from the TV series ever released on LaserDisc in Japan....

Speaking of the legitimacy of the Speedy dub, I'm not sure about the old English dub on VCDs, but their later DVD release containing their new Malay dub has got Toei Animation's company logo on covers and it's sponsored by Sharp, a Japanese company. I don't think it was a bootleg release. My guess ...

There's 78.
Then why did you list them best to worst? Isn't it more reasonable to list ten bad dubs?

Re: Top 10 worst Dragon Ball dubs

Ok, for a fanmade thing this isn't that bad. Both of those aforementioned dubs had such flat and lifeless acting that i just broke down laughing because it sounds so horrendous. In the case of Serbia especially so since they did a redub of Z in 2009/2010 and it seems that was a massive improvement ...

Re: Top 10 worst Dragon Ball dubs

In terms of quality, the Serbian dub must be the absolute worst. There's nothing worth calling acting in that dub. You can even hear some noises like a cellphone's vibration in the background. When considering all the factors involved, I rank the Albanian dub as the worst because it was produced ill...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

While Toei character sheets do use same codes as what's on there, according to Kei17 Toei still used their own actual colour palette. So even this probably isn't all that accurate for DBZ. Toei Animation used the paint called "STAC" (Saito Tele Animation Color) and it was different from i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Coming 2022?

Nothing from Toei and Shueisha has impressed me since Resurrection F and I have literally zero expectations for the franchise at this point. A lot of people seem to like the last movie, but I hate it with a passion and I feel like I do not belong to the fanbase anymore. Anyway, I'm sure I won't go s...
